This 194-page book contains 365 of the world's best websites, as voted by a worldwide jury of web designers, developers, artists and UX designers during 2011. Each site is rated by these experts using four criteria: design, creativity, usability, and content. This book is a great way to discover new web design ideas and get inspired.

Who is Awwwards?

Awwwards recognize and promote the talent and effort of the best developers, designers and web agencies in the world. An international jury made up of some of the most important designers, bloggers and internet agencies evaluates each site by means of a strict system of evaluation, scoring it on a scale of 1 to 10 for its design, creativity, usability and content.

Awwwards' goal is to create a meeting point where web developers, designers and agencies across the world can share experiences, inspiration and knowledge — a community that bids for a more accessible, usable and beautiful internet.

--If I could summarize the experience of the use of the website, I would say so:

Modern, pretty looking website based on modern and interactive web elements with bulletproof design concepts and layouts with graceful degradation and progressive anhancement behind the scenes. It utilizes cool js effects and great css tricks throughout the whole website. Just look around the website...

--In more detailed words (smth. like a personal review of system functionality):

The main page shows the product and a metaphor for growth.

Your child is in the spotlight. From the original “I grow up” to a more personal “Andrew grows up” (the upper-left interactive form on the main page).

That website showed nutrition tips in a new user interface that combines the familiarity of a linear scroll and the usability of a per-question index. The format suits any website’s FAQ section. Also please note the excellent smooth scrolling in the left colum of the page (http://yarastore.ru/faq/).

The site requires no sign-up, passwords or e-mail confirmations. It's engine remembers customers and reminds then when their product may have run out or when it’s time to switch to a different-age product. So, 'Ya Rastu' Website is both a product and a service. It illustrates modern approach to designing efficient systems. The name, the logo, all the packaging and websites work together in perfect harmony.

I must confess, its not easy for me to pick my all-time favourite website because there are so many. But if I'm to pick just one (on the spur of the moment) it'll be thepixelio.com - why? I just like the simple look/feel of the website, its easy to navigate and loads rather fast.

the main reason is obvious, it's Harley Davidson motorcycles. And since I hang out with a MC (Motorcycle Club) and go to a biker church on Sundays led by a pastor from a local MM (Motorcycle Ministry) it only makes sense that I enjoy that site.

Great giveaway, thank you Elated.My favorite website is http://www.rrota.com , it is a local company which has a really great portfolio of their work.Link of my tweet: https://twitter.com/#!/egzonche/status/203423526835859456
